| Johns Manville to insulate Colorado GEO's new office space The Colorado Governor's Energy Office (GEO) and Denver-based building materials manufacturer Johns Manville (JM) have teamed up to insulate GEO's new office space as part of Colorado Governor Ritter's "Greening Government" plan, which seeks a 20-percent reduction in state government energy use by June 30, 2012. The insulation, donated by Johns Manville, will be installed at the Governor's Energy Office, 1580 Logan Street, Suite OL100 in Denver, a property owned by Jordon Perlmutter, Inc. The insulation retrofit, installed by Allied Insulation of Denver, will maximize GEO's energy efficiency and improve its overall environmental performance, while reducing the office's overall operating costs and serving as a model for energy efficiency in commercial buildings across Colorado. Johns Manville is donating its Formaldehyde-free fiber glass building insulation, including Spider spray-in insulation and ComfortTherm batts. Johns Manville's building science team is providing technical expertise to GEO to ensure proper product selection and installation for the space, resulting in maximum energy efficiency. In addition to the insulation, there are several other energy efficiency measures incorporated into GEO's office space including: enhanced daylighting, low-VOC paints, sealants and caulking, water efficient toilets and urinals from Denver Water, occupancy sensors, ENERGY STAR appliances, and improved heating and cooling controls. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
